[. . .]
The Realm took from me the one thing I could not stand to lose. [quietly, but evenly] There are certain people in this world that I would do anything for.
[even if she doesn't remember their names, or their faces, or even who they really are]
Well, before everyone started murdering one another, the assumption was always that if enough nova was gathered, we would regain our memories--both the Leaders and the participants alike.
It might not be as immediate as you'd like, but I still believe that to be the case, even in this dimension.
Don't get too excited. [ a tap of their index finger. ] Everyone gets sent home once enough nova is gathered, but that doesn't necessarily apply to those of you here.
You would be permanently trapped here, is my guess. [ they tap their finger. ] Death isn't something to take lightly just because there turns out to be consciousness after.

week 2, monday
My apologies for the wait.
no subject
Fox.
[a polite, one-sided curtsy, and she offers them the tea]
I must admit, I'm a bit surprised we can still talk like this.
no subject
It isn't the easiest trip, so I can't stay here for long, I'm afraid.
no subject
. . . then I will make this quick and to the point.
[and then she bows, deep and contrite]
First: I must apologize. I told you I would behave myself.
[and she most definitely did NOT]
no subject
I suppose you did warn me that might happen.
[ THOUGH THEY DEFINITELY STILL DIDN'T LIKE IT!! ]
no subject
[straightens a little, flashing them a smile]
. . . I assure you, it was for my own selfish reasons. Though-- [. . .] I suppose they don't matter, now that I have lost.
[. . .]
no subject
... You wanted to regain one of your memories, correct? That's what people were theorizing.
no subject

The Realm took from me the one thing I could not stand to lose. [quietly, but evenly] There are certain people in this world that I would do anything for.
[even if she doesn't remember their names, or their faces, or even who they really are]
no subject
[ although they still don't approve of. the fuckin murder attempt. ]
Well, it might not be too late to get that memory back. Nova still affects you in here, and vice versa.
no subject
[. . . hm??]
How might one go about regaining their memories from this side of the competition?
no subject
It might not be as immediate as you'd like, but I still believe that to be the case, even in this dimension.
no subject
So you're suggesting that all I can do is sit around and wait? [teehee] You should know that isn't something I'm very good at doing, Fox.
no subject
no subject
[nevertheless, she sounds amused]
Then I suppose I'll take you up on that. [. . .] If I may ask. . .
. . . where are we?
[other than inside namine's house because this is namine's fucking house]
no subject
no subject
So you don't know the specific reason why we were brought here in the first place, then. Or why we are all very much still alive.
[SHE REFUSES TO BELIEVE SHE'S DEAD THERE IS NOTHING AFTER DEATH]
no subject
no subject
[she says that with a smile, but there's something about her body that seems to. . . tense up, underneath the polite demeanor]
I'm merely saying that "death" did not seem to stick.
no subject
[ so you're still pretty dead in some regards. ]
no subject
And how do I ensure that those who have perished, in a manner of speaking, are also sent home?
["I" and not "we?"]
no subject
no subject
And if there is "no way," as you say, then what will become of us?
no subject
no subject
[she folds her hands in front of her, and her gaze flickers away, almost thoughtful]
Rather. . . I simply choose to believe there is something positive about my consciousness continuing to persist.
It means there is still yet something I can do.
[to. . . what? collect nova? regain her memories? make sure she goes home? . . . help people? eh, on that last one]
no subject
So do your best to hang in there, I suppose. And try not to stab anyone--I don't think it would help you now.
